Badges make the level
Steam: your level is a summary of your badges. Most badges give 100 XP.
XP grows every 10 levels
100 XP per level up to level 10, 200 XP per level after that, 300 after level 20, and so on.
Context, not trust
A high level shows investment in the account; a low level on its own says little about the player.

How to check someone's Steam level
- Copy the Steam profile link, custom URL, or Steam64 ID.

- The Steam level appears in the account section of the profile, next to account age, games owned, hours, and bans.
- On Steam itself, the level is the number in the circle on the profile page, next to the badge showcase.
What is a Steam level?
Steam describes your level as a summary of your badges. Crafting game badges from trading cards, event badges, the Steam Community badge, and the Years of Service badge all add XP.
Steam calls the level "a quick way for users to see how much someone has invested in their Steam account". It raises your friend limit, unlocks a profile showcase every 10 levels, and increases your booster pack drop rate by 20% every 10 levels.
Steam's trading card and level FAQWhat is a good Steam level?
There is no official "good" level; it mostly reflects how many badges someone crafts. For reference, among 1,957 CS2 pros and streamers with a public level, the median is 26, half sit between 15 and 47, and a quarter are below 15.
So a low level is normal even for very experienced players. A new account with level 0 to 5, one game, and few hours is a different picture from a ten-year-old account at the same level.
More CS2 pro account statisticsSteam level and smurf or alt accounts
People checking a suspected smurf often look at Steam level. On its own it proves nothing: many main accounts never craft a badge. It is more useful read together with account age, games owned, CS2 hours, and whether the account is limited.
Check an account for smurf signalsWhere this data comes from
Account age, Steam level, name, and profile visibility come from Valve's official Steam Web API and the public Steam Community profile. AIMTRACER caches them for up to 10 minutes, and the Steam level for up to an hour.
Every lookup reads these sources live and keeps the answer only in a short cache. When a source is private or does not answer, the page says so instead of guessing, and no stat is presented as proof of cheating.

What is a good Steam level?
There is no official benchmark. Among 1,957 CS2 pros and streamers with a public level, the median is 26, so a modest level is normal even for experienced players.
Does Steam level affect CS2 matchmaking?
Valve does not publish the Trust Factor inputs. Its FAQ only says Trust Factor looks at your history in CS2 and on Steam, so a level on its own is not a known matchmaking factor.
